ONE SEAT STILL EMPTY.
-NE STTGE EWTT T.
Jacob Sharp More PunctuaI Than
usual-The Last Panel of
Jurors a Sorry Lot.

New YORK, May 25.-Jacob Sharp was
more punctual today in his attendance at
court than the majority of jurors who had
passed the chair and were awaiting per-
emptory challenge. He came into court
ahead OF his counsel, about 1856 O'Clock.
Thus far he has not had recourse publicly to
his accustomed milk bottle, which was SO
familiar sight at the sessions of the Senate
investigating committee. The jury this
morning was the same as that published in
Yesterdays , late editions, the first seat being
still vacant; Fifty proposed jurors were ex-
amlned yesterday afternoon. The commits
sioner OF Jurors put an extra thousand names
In the box before the panel of 100 Jurors for
yesterday. The resultwas anything but sat
isfactory. The majority of those who ap-
ever seen in this city. A few good men, of
course, were there, but they were either dis
qualified by their intelligence or the fact that
they happened in some way to have an inter-
est in street railroads.
No better luck in attempting to fill the first
seat IN the jury box was met with early this
morning. There were 81 names left in the
ballot-box of yesterdays panel, and another
panel OF 100 was in attendance, or as many
of them at least as the officerslhad succeeded
In serving with the notice.
The 81 names in the box were promptly re-
dueed 70 80 before any one responded TO the
call OF the clerk, but at last, Bernard Schmidt,
stepped up to be examined for the
1oreman's seat In the jury box. which was
emptied yesterday by the peoples eighth
peremptory challenge. Mr.. Schmidt had
read the papers, and could not act as Juror
uninfiuenced by his opinion. He was ex-
cused. Several others were examined and
excused.
One of the first jurors to appear this morn
ing, in response to summons was Freder
lex E. Barnes, who was the twelfth man on
the jury that convicted Alderman Jaehne.
He was immediately recognized by the mem
bers of the press and the court officers Mr..
Barnes was clerk of Dr. Newman's church
at the time of the Ranney trouble.

THE NATIONAL DRILL.
A Street Parade Reviewed by the
President.-Another Shower Inter-
feres with the Programme.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The parade of
troops today for review by the President af-
forded the first opportunity for seeing at
once the entire body of those forming the
encampment. 1t was an unqualified sue
cess. The head of the column started from
the camp on 18th street promptly at 70 o'clock
reached the grand stand erected for the
President and invited gueets, ten minutes
later. The stand had seats for nearly 800
persons. With the President were Miss
Cleveland, Mrs. Welsh, Mrs. Marsey, Colo
mel and Mrs. Lamont. General Sheridan,
and several members of the staff in full uni
form were their escorts. Among 1.-THE guests
of the drill were Governor Lee Of Virginia,
and staff; Governor McGill of Minnesota,
and staff; Secretary Endicott, Senators
Sherman and German, Mexican and Japan
ese Ministers, and ladies, their families, and
liberal sprinkling of other legations and
army people. The stand was covered with
bunting and stood beneath the shade of lofty
trees, which front on the White House
grounds. When the right of the column ap-
preached, the President stepped upon the
stand and in response to the salute of pass
ing commands, removed his hat and bowed
Following General Augur and brilliant staff
attached came the Marine band. Thousands
of strangers with half the population of the
capital city filled the windows and pave
ments along the entire route.
The street parade was the only feature of
the drill programme carried out today. A
heavy shower about 4 o'clock necessitated
postponement of the competitive drills and
dress parade.
The color line cropped out at to days
parade. The Vicksburg company with their
band, and the Memphis Merchants Zouaves
brought up the rear with quite an interval
between them and their predecessors. They
formed, in fact, a little column by them
selves. They had been assigned to positions
respectively in the fourth and ninth provi-
sional battalons, but dropped out of the
line because, as their officers explain, they
were placed Immediately behind the colored
organizations.

THE COLOR LINE.
The Row In the Episcopal conven-
ton at CharIestan.
ICharleston Despatch. I

lNhdllcotou
The Episcopal Diocesan Convention .of
South Carolina continued on Friday, May
18th, at Charleston, the discussion of the
right Of the colored clergy to admission to
the floor as delegates. A great many speeches
were made on both sides of the question, and
considerable feeling was manifested. In the
morning Bishop Howe announced the con-
yention organized for business and admitted
the colored delegates. An appeal was taken
from his ruling, and the debate came up on
the color question in this shape. After dis
cussing the matter all day the convention re-
assembled in the evening; the Bishoy put
the question on sustaining the appeal from
tain the decision, whereapon the Bishop or
dered the secretary to read the rules Of order
This precipitated an entirely unanticipated
scene.
G. G. Meminger, lay delegate from Grace
church, Charleston, jumped to his feet and
announced that Grace church would with
draw from the convention. He was quickly
followed by other members of the laity all
over the church, who announced that they
and their delegates would also withdraw.
When count was made 1t was found that
lay delegates from fourteen parishes had
withdrawn, and that of the clergymeu Rev
X. ). Trappier of st. MichaePs church,
Charleston, and Rev. William Hanckel of
Trinity church. Abbeyville, had joined in
the secession. The rules of the church pro-
vide ten parishes shall constitute quorum.
There are more than enough delegates, lay
convention will continue its sessions tomor-
row.

Anonymous communications.
OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTI
PORTLAND, NAV 25. 1886

OFFICE OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH,
PORTLAND, May %, 1886.
To the Editor Of the Press:
The editorial in this mornings paper, re-
lating to anonymous communications to the
Board Of Health, is very timely article.
The number OF such communications receiv-
ed by this Board is very large in the course
of the season, and, unless they refer to some
matter of which the Board already has
knowledge, they receive no attention.
In great majority of cases, the complain
ant is party in some neighborhood quarrel,
and thinks to strengthen his side by causing
an investigation by the Board of Health of a
pretended nuisance, in which he signally
fails.
There is no need of anonymous communi-
cations, as 1t Is an invariable rule of the
Board not to divulge the name of the COM
plalnant, nor Is any permanent record made
OF 1t, but every proper complaint, made In
person or in writing, either to me or to the
inspector, shall have immediate attention,
and II there is any adequate remedy in the
health law, or the rules of the Board, the
difficulty shall be abated so far as this Board
has power to act.
1t must be remembered, however, that
there are various degrees of nuisances,
some things being made nuisances by law or
rule Of the Board, and others must
be proved to be nuisances. Al
thing may be personal nuisance and not n
legal one; and because a thing is disagreea-
BILE, it is not necessarily nuIsance but, as
you say, when Constant Reader Tor any
other person. calls the attention of the
Board of Health to the nuisance in the prop
er way, have no doubt that it will be rem
edied; at any rate | know that can safely
promise that a faithful attempt will be made
to accomplish shat result
Very respectfully yours,
GEO. G. BURGESS,
Secretary of Board of Health.

RAILWAY MATTERS.

THE NEW UNION STATION IN BOSTON.
The Massachusetts, committee ON railroads
Tuesday gave hearing to parties interested
In the petition Of the Fitchburg. Boston and
Maine and Eastern Railroad Companies for
such legislation as will compel the erection
Of union passenger station between Charles
River and Causeway street. Mr.. Richard
Olney, for the petitioners and especially for
the Boston and Maine and the Eastern. made
brief statement Of the necessity OF the
proposed legislation, and submitted bin
which had been agreed upon by the petition
ers. The bill provides that the Boston and
Maine, when II shall have leased the fran
chises and property Of the Boston and Low
ell, shall, as soon as practicable, cause plans
and drawings to be prepared for a union pas
senger station for the use Of the Maine.
Lowell, Eastern and Fitchburg roads. The
plans shall be furnished 10 the FitchbuTg
Railroad Company, which within six months
must accept or prepare others. At the expi-
ration Of said six months the plans must be
submitted TO the consideration Of the rail-
road commissioners for their approval. I'M
mediately upon the approval Of the commits
sioners, the Boston and Maine Is required TO
begin the work and finish the same within
iiye years from July !, 1887, but the Fitch
burg has the right to do the work OF con-
struction. The cost Of said station shall be
borne in the first instance by the Boston and
Maine, which may issue Boston and Maine
Terminal Bonds" for that purpose. The
cost Of land acquired and added to the prop
erty OF any lother railroad corporation, the
cost OF regarding and recOnstructing the
road of such other corporation on Its own
land or location. and its due proportion Of
the cost of carrying its road over or under
the road of any other corporation, or over or
under any highway, shall be repaid by said
corporation 10 the Boston and Maine.
Mr.. Olney explained the bill at length,
calling especial attention to the fact that the
bull was mandatory, and that 1t was based
upon the consolidation OF the Boston and
Maine and Lowell Mr.. Torrey, represent
ing the Fitchburg Railroad, followed Mr..
Olney in advocacy Of the bill. Nobody ap-
peared in opposition.

INVOLVING MILLIONS.
A Law Suit to be Brought Against
Could and Sage by Kansas Pacific
BoudholdevS,

NEW YORK, May 25.-The Commercial
Advertiser says law suit involving several
millions is about to be commenced against
Jay Gould and Russell Sage as trustees Of
the consolidated mortgage on the Kansas
Pacific Railroad by the foreign holders of
the bonds issued under the mortgage. Ger
tain facts have been ELECTED during the re-
cent examination into the affairs of ithe
Pacific railroads by the Pacific Railway
Commission which have long been suspected
by interested parties, but which they were
unable to prove. Now the very matters they
were in the dark about are made clear The
suit, so long held in allegiance, will be the
result Shortly after the consolidation of
the Kansas and Pacific railroads, Denver
Pacific stock became worth its face value.
Had that stock remained under the lien of
the consolidated mortgage each bond issued
under that mortgage would be worth its pro
rata share of So, 1000, 900 more than it is worth
today. This sum, together with accrued
interest, would be about S5,OO0.000. 1t is to
secure their proportionate share of this So
O0O, 900 that the foreign bondholders propose
to bring suit The total amount of bonds
issued under the consolidation mortgage was
about $4,000, 600, a great many of which
were floated in Frankfort and Amsterdam,
and some in London.
